Magas

Magas, king of Cyrene
Magas was a royal prince of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. He  was  the  son  of  Ptolemy III Euergetes I (246-221 B.C.E.)  and Queen Berenice III. Magas did not inherit the  throne,  which went to Ptolemy IV Philopator (221-205 B.C.E.). The prince was reportedly brutally murdered  by  Ptolemy  IV  as a result  of  being  suspected of treason. Their mother, Queen Berenice, and an uncle passed in the same royal purge.
